China's population has experienced a second consecutive year of decline, marked by a record-low birth rate. In this video story, we delved into the underlying reasons behind this demographic shift and its implications for the global landscape. Take a look at the video for a comprehensive understanding. https://lnkd.in/e_QPFjHA

There are many negative consequences of China’s accelerated population decline. But while China’s demographic crisis looks like that of other neighboring countries, it is coming at a lower level of economic development, and the problems it poses are exacerbated by some of the unique characteristics of China’s political system.

You might have seen this on the #news recently and wondering why this is happening... Which are the consequences for #China and the #global #economy? This video explains it nicely. "For the first time in six decades, China’s population is shrinking, and it’s predicted it could create a demographic crisis. That’s because China isn’t just shrinking, it’s also aging. And the majority of Chinese couples are not considering having more than one child. Because of this, China is predicted to lose nearly 50 percent of its population by 2100. China’s population decline can be traced back to the restrictive family-planning policies launched in the 1970s and an impressive economic boom fueled by China’s huge labor force. China’s modernization brought rapid #urbanization, rising #income levels, and better education to large parts of China. Combined, these policies and growth have given China one of the lowest birth rates in the world. Today, China is trying to reverse its population decline. Not just because an aging population is hard to sustain economically, but because China’s impressive economic #growth, until now, has relied on its people. As China’s population challenges deepen over time, it might have to rethink how to grow its economy and care for its citizens".

China's population dropped to 1.409 billion in 2023, marking a continued decline as urban dwellers delay having children due to economic pressures. Despite lifting the one-child policy, financial challenges and lifestyle priorities prevail. This demographic shift, which has seen China overtaken by India in population, poses significant economic challenges for the nation. Liked what you read?

The impact of Chinese population control measures are coming on far faster and harsher than central planners ever imaged as China is expected to drop from 1.4 billion current citizens to just 525 million people by the end of the century .  In the meantime, the number women of child-bearing age is fast plummeting - and India has become the most populated nation on the planet.

In 2023, China's population fell by 850,000 to 1.41 billion, marking its first drop since 1961. In 2022, elderly population aged 65 and above reached 14.9% of the total population, making China an “aged society” by UN standards. This working paper provides a quantitative analysis of the potential macroeconomic impact of China's demographic shifts. The simulations conclude that population aging will weaken China's economic growth over the coming decades and strain public finances, stressing the urgency to implement structural reforms.

Very interesting insights on policy making, its short-term vs long term impacts. In a rapidly changing world of technology, organizations have to continuously assess and recalibrate their strategy for short-term vs long-term… it’s true whether it is Mainframe modernization or Gen AI adoption. #policymaking #strategy #technology #mainframemodernization #genai

https://lnkd.in/gV2_TjxV. While population #growth is slowing in Europe and the Americas, Asia's numbers tell a different story. Countries like #China, #Korea, #Japan, and #Thailand see steady or declining populations, #Vietnam, the #Philippines, and #Indonesia continue to experience consistent growth. With this demographic momentum comes substantial #industrial #opportunity, positioning #Asia as a key region for future expansion. European industries, facing limited growth prospects at home, would benefit from a stronger presence in these #emerging markets. Now is the time for Europe to get a bigger foot in the door and actively participate in Asia's industrial evolution. #AsiaGrowth #IndustrialOpportunity #PopulationTrends #InvestInAsia #EuropeInAs Monsi Alfonso Serrano Bernardo Batiz-Lazo Adolfo Urso #italy #ceo

A fascinating chart from an article in the Wall Street Journal last week on the long-term demographic impacts of China’s one-child policy. According to the article, China will continue to pay a heavy price for the policy even though it was officially revoked in 2016. For instance: -China’s total population will decline by more than 10% between now and 2050, and by more than 50% by the end of the century. -India and the United States, the world’s two other most populous countries, will continue to grow over the same period. India’s population will be more than double that of China’s in 2100. -Over 30% of Chinese will be 65 or older in 2050. By 2100 that number will be 46%. Link to article: https://bit.ly/4faPuRt

China's economy falters as the country's population drops for the second year in a row. In 2023, China's population shrank for the second consecutive year, and the country reported a record low birth rate. The pattern signalled the intensification of a demographic dilemma that is expected to have a big impact on the second-biggest economy in the world. #china #population #world
